What is it with atheists getting in a snit because everyone doesn't agree with them? If the don't want to believe in anything, fine, just leave me and my beliefs ALONE...it's none of their business.

In Massachusetts Superior Court a lawsuit has been filed by an atheist couple.
They claim their children "are being discriminated against because the Pledge of Allegiance."
The Pledge is said in school.. in the classroom.
The couple is upset about the phrase "under God."
According to The Christian Post..
"The daily recitation in public schools of a pledge declaring that the nation is 'under God' is discriminatory toward atheists and humanists," David Niose, president of the American Humanist Association and lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the case, stated.
We’d better keep it there, or the Muslims will kick our butts.
Where’s the picture of the guy banging his forehead, saying, “aww, not this s*** again”???
If they are so frickin offended, they can take their kids out of the school.
Liberals tell us that we can homeschool or take our kids out of school if we don’t like things such as sex education curricula. So why can’t we tell these parents, you don’t like it, take your kids out of the school???? Does it work both ways?????
Or do liberals get an unlimited number of do-overs?
Such superstitious people. Someone should tell them WORD MAGIC DOESN’T EXIST. Their kids can hear “GOD” and their schmengies won’t fall off.
Are you being “discriminated against” because gravity makes your fat sag?
Who you gonna sue about that?
Sorry dears, the courts can’t shield you from reality.
My guard goes up when somebody feels it is important for me to believe the same way they do.
The couple is upset about the phrase "under God."
Maybe they could just go throw their goatsmellin' @$$e$ off of a bridge somewhere and brighten everybody's day.
liberals get to do this until they win,
then its a settled issue
I thought this was settled under Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow case.
These people need to get a life. If this is so unendurable, they can withdraw the kid from public school. They can also have him not say “under God”. But it’s no great imposition to have to listen to those two words spoken every once in awhile. He’ll hear much worse invocations of the Deity on the playground.
This is certainly not forcing their kids to change their beliefs about anything...they can still choose to just not believe in God.
If these parents are successful(doubtful)then a lawsuit should be immediately filed for discriminating against those kids who do believe the nation is "under God"
yes, then it somehow becomes a "civil right."
Red Skelton and the pledge.

“Wouldn’t it be a pity if someone sad that was a prayer and was eliminated from schools too.”
Yes, the liberals get an unlimited number of do-overs in lawsuits on behalf of liberal causes.
There are other examples. The Mt. Soledad cross in San Diego has been the subject of numerous lawsuits for over 20 years now. These lawsuits have been filed in both federal and state courts. Every time we think that the case is settled, another lawsuit comes up. The goal of the atheists is to tear down the cross. They haven’t succeed yet, but are still trying.
Another good example is the homosexual marriage case in California. After Proposition 8 passed, the gay activists went back to the state Supreme Court. The California Supreme Court upheld the right of the people of California to define marriage, even though it had the effect of overturning their own ruling for same-sex marriage.
So what did the activists do? They filed suit in federal court after they lost in state court. And the 9th Circuit has enough liberal judges that they have won the early rounds of their federal lawsuit over homosexual marriage in California.
So yes, the liberals go judge shopping or court shopping, or if they lose in state court they go to federal court. Or vice versa.
Wealthy liberals make large donations to groups such as the ACLU and Lambda Legal, so they can file these perpetual lawsuits.
I forgot to mention that the Court did not consider the constitutional question raised by the case
Now why is it that they “have standing” to sue about anything they don’t like, but conservatives never seem to have standing?
“The daily recitation in public schools of a pledge declaring that the nation is ‘under God’ is discriminatory toward atheists and humanists”...
To bad, who cares about you? Majority rules. Deal with it!
